It is interesting that the truth has come out about Koran abuse. Facts that you seem to gloss over:

>Enemy combatants have Korans because the US gave them to them.
>Several Gitmo detainees were killed... On the battlefield, after their release.
>These are some of the hardest most violent criminals on the face of the earth.
>Some detainees are still there because no country will take them.
>Several Chinese nationals remain detained because the US is concerned that China will summarily execute them.

You accused America of over twenty five abuses.
You accused America of flushing the Koran.
You repeated charges that we systematically abusing prisoners.
You repeat every accusation as if it is gospel truth.
You blame every problem in the country on President Bush and VP Cheney.

First it was twenty five abuses, then seven, now it is five abuses with the Koran. Your base seems to be shrinking.

One abuse was an American guard accused of urinating on the Koran that the US gave to the criminal. It turns out he was urinating outside the cell and a few drops blew in through a vent and landed on the Koran issued to him by Americans. The thug was subsequently issued a new replacement Koran by Americans, and the guard was kept separated from prisoners during the remainder of his Gitmo deployment.

The facts and your hysteria seem at odds.

Al Qaeda training manuals suggest accusing captors of abuse. Only two prisoners have accused Americans of abuse.

Over 50,000,000 formerly tyrannized people now live free lives thanks to the courageous leadership of President Bush. All Americans can be proud to be Americans, and proud to be lead by such a fine man.

Every human being deserves to be free. It is up to the most powerful nation on earth to help people realize their potential to be free. We could bury our heads in the sand instead.
